| Comment: Happy Birthday Roger! So you're 60; we've been there, done that. It's not so bad, so don't sweat it! But, waitresses will refer to you as "hon" in the restaurants. Just smile. | ||

| Comment: I just got home from Camelot rehearsal and I am tired. But when I heard that you are turning 60 today I could not sleep without a stroll down memory lane. You are my mentor. A man I most admire. I have learned so very much from you and yet you have treated me as a best friend. From our first show of Paint Your Wagon to the very exciting days at OSU. Butterfly,My Fair Lady, and Kismet. What a wonderful thrill it was to appear on stage with you in Student Prince.But of all of the wonderful memorie | ||

you look pretty damn good for someone who has survived Dave
Meeker, Bob LeBlanc, Craig Kirchhoff, Marshall Haddock, Don
Harris, AND Don Gibson in one lifetime! I just wanted to add my
congratulations, admiration, and best wishes (along with a good
swift kick-in-the-pants) and say "I miss you, you ol'
Buckeye, you!" All My Best ... have a drink on me! Rick Blatti |

| Comment: I hope that this is a total surprise. I recall when you were born. You were without a doubt the cutest baby I had ever seen. And you have not changed since that day 60 years ago. I am so thankful that I was given the opportunity to write you on this great occasion. Your mother is one of my very best friends and as a result of this reunion we keep contact with all of our children. And it just seems like you are one of our own.HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope that you have many, many more. Lots of Love.. | ||

| Comment: Happy
Birthday, Roger! I'm honored to be part of this list. You scared
the hell out of me when I first worked with you, but I've come to
learn what a sweet man you really are. You have always been one of my favorite clients and an example to me of the excellence we should all strive for......too mushy? Man, you sure don't look 60. Keep enjoying your life, Karen from Costume Specialists .....and Happy Birthday from Eric Lubkeman too. |

You give me inspiration to continue to drink those Martinis: If I can look as good as you (AND have the intelligence and friendship of people like Albert Einstein!), there's even hope for me yet!! We hope you have a Splendid Birthday Celebration! You deserve it! Thanks for your leadership at UT, and most especially for your friendship!!! David and Stephanie |

| Comment: How can I
ever forget my first show in Columbus: Kismet. The audition was:
"Can you sing a high B?" "Yes", I said.
"Can you sing AND hold a high B?" he asked.
"Yes", I said. "O.K" let's see." That was
the whole audition, and the start of a long friendship. Thanks for
the meomries, Roger. You're the greatest. Greatest
director,greatest performer, greatest friend. I always loved
performing with you, and working for you. And here's to that house on the water... HAPPY BIRTHD |

| Comment: Now Roger, before you get too upset... remember how much I love you, admire you, and respect the person you are - all you mean to me. At this fabulous time in your life I wanted you to remember how many people love you, how many lives you have touched and shaped in such significant ways and give them a chance to let you know. Anyway, 6-oh!, it’s just a number... I love it! In the years to come you will continue to inspire those whose lives you touch! Sounds pretty good to me! (-: Yours - Margi | ||

| Comment: Roger, I was
impressed when I looked at the first page, but then Erin informed
me there were two more. I've never seen you nor Margie do anything
the ordinary way. Roger,you have more interests and talents than anyone I've ever known and you excel (excelled) in them all. Now, take some time, relax, watch a few favorite movies, fish, reflect, sing awhile -a few folk songs, opera, gospel, country- and eat Mexican. (Of course you'll have to squeeze that into your busy sche |

| Comment: Really,
Roger? 60? I think it's not so bad, but one of the things that
happens after 60 is that you can't remember anything, so I don't
really remember what it was like to turn 60! But after all, they
do have pills for most of the most important things that fail us
in old age, so do not despair. Happy Birthday! :-) Bob |

| Comment: How come all this fuss over Roger being 60 when we heard jack-shit about Margie turning 50 in March???!!! Seriously, Roger, congratulations on your birthday, and many more to come, from someone who isn't far behind you. To quote one of the songs we both love from one of our favorite groups, "It takes a worried man to sing a worried song . . . we worried now, but we won't be worried long!" Best wishes always, David | ||
